Argentine President Milei heads to CPAC in Brazil, snubbing Lula and escalating a political feud
Argentine President Javier Milei is in Brazil to headline a far-right convention after skipping a presidential summit to discuss regional trade policy.
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Given the choice between a far-right convention to bash his enemies and a presidential summit to discuss regional trade policy, Argentine President Javier Milei preferred the stadium packed with cheering fans.
The libertarian leader was in Brazil on Sunday, preparing to headline the country’s version of CPAC, the conservative political action conference, alongside former President Javier Bolsonaro in Brazil’s southern city of Balneario Camboriu.
In skipping the Mercosur trade bloc summit in Paraguay and sidling up to Bolsonaro just days after federal police indicted the right-wing populist in a scheme to embezzle Saudi diamonds, Milei delivered another harsh rebuke to Brazil’s left-wing President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, escalating a risky feud with his country’s biggest trading partner.
It was the latest example of Milei’s provocative foreign policy, courting the global spotlight through friendships with hard-right allies rather than following diplomatic convention.
This was predictable - he’s not out to solve his country’s issues, he wants power but most of all he wants to be admired.
Admired? With that hairdo?
He looks like the corpse of a 70's playboy.
Yeah - we know the “alpha” rulers in both north and south America have horrible hair, but they have fanatical followers that adore them.
Milei, Bannon, and Bolsonaro all go to the same syphilis treatment facility/discount facelift emporium
Please don't dead name him. Call him by his chosen name: Captain Ancap
(No disrespect intended towards trans people. All possible disrespect intended towards the Captain and all other anarcho-capitalist greed babies)
Anyone noticed how Milei is constantly seeking beef with other countries? It's almost like he wants Argentinians to get lost on diplomacy theatrics so that they don't discuss their own situation.
This is just what USA wanted. Problem?
